CES 2014: Samsung shows off TV with bendy screen and 105-inch curved set

We've heard a lot about TVs that curve - now Samsung has
revealed one that bends.

That's right, bends.

The ultra HD prototype TV curves at the push of a button on your
remote to suit wherever you're sitting.

It was unveiled alongside Samsung's mammoth 105-inch ultra HD
(UHD) curved screen TV, which the firm says ensures everyone who is
watching the display has "the best seat in the house".

The TVs were among four UHD sets revealed by the firm, and
watching the 85-inch bendy prototype curve up on the stage was kind
of freaky but totally cool. It did so using a mechanical system
pushing out from the edges of the screen.

But the 105-inch set will be heading to the living rooms of the
rich and famous.

As well as being a mammoth 105 inches, it also boasts a 21:9
aspect ratio - LG showcased a similar vision in its press conference earlier on Monday.

Introducing the television, Joe Stinziano, senior sales vice
president for Samsung's consumer electronics division, said: "At
105 inches this is the world's largest UHD TV. It features the most
advanced technology and design, a massive movie theatre screen, of
course UHD and a curve for a truly cinematic experience.

Another UHD range announced by Samsung was the U9000, which has
already been named a CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards
honoree.

Available in 65 and 55-inch screen sizes, this is curved UHD for
the living room. And those worrying about a lack of native 4K
content for these TVs can look to another Samsung CES 2014
announcement for some respite.

The firm revealed plans to offer a UHD video pack so people can
enjoy films in true 4K resolution, as well as a streaming service
involving parters such as Netflix.
